Jesus, kid, you're almost a detective. All you need now is a gun, a gut, and three ex-wives.
I had someone roll their eyes about Weinstein saying "What a coincidence that all the women coming forward are these big name actresses who just want to have another 15 minutes of fame, they could have just said 'no'" and I had to work real hard to get them to make the connection that maybe the reason we're not hearing from the ones that did say no is that saying no is the reason they're not famous enough to get heard (which is sad in its own right). They want to scoff at women for not trying to resist or say "no" harder against someone who could literally make or break their dream when they were 18-19 years old instead of saying "maybe he shouldn't have done that".

What's more, in this very case, there was woman who came forward, she wore a wire for the cops, and then the DA spiked the case. I wonder why women would hesitate to expose themselves to enormous retribution for essentially no benefit to anyone? These crazy dames.

Is there an ACTUAL protest planned for November 4th that people are Jade Helming or is it all made up from the get-go? Curious because I saw this pop up on the Charlottesville subreddit, which as you can imagine has had some trouble with trolls in the past couple months.

I really like how Trump's statement made sure to say "On MY orders". I'm the big strong man, I make the men go pow pow and bombs go boom boom.

The uranium thing doesn't seem to be distracting from the Mueller investigation, so I can definitely see right-wing media pivoting back to the hunt for Benjamin Ghazi.

The White House Press Secretary just straight up did a real life version of a forwarded email to reporters, reading out loud in its entirety that old "Here's how taxes work if it was 10 people at a bar" email from 2011.

At the very least it's making major news outlets work like snopes for this one, having to post explanations about why it's dumb.

That leaves $20 to be split among #'s 5-10, and as Sanders explains it, if it were to be shared equally, each person would enjoy a reduction of $3.33 in their nightly outlay. But that can't work, Sanders explains, because a reduction of that size would leave 5 and 6 being paid to drink, and no one is lucky enough to do that, save for, it would appear, Steve Bannon.

They really are going to keep pushing with Iraqi Information Minister level proclamations, until there's no polite way to address them or engage in a dialog.

Then they'll clutch pearls about "decorum" when someone earnestly asks whether they're [ intoxicated / mentally impaired / simply ghouls ], or just assuming their audience is.

I was kinda annoyed Snopes spend most of their article trying to find the original author of the old taxes article instead of how that story is wrong, but I suppose Snopes isn't for tax discussions.

First off, that is a weak amount of candy, how lovely is this person's neighborhood for trick or treating? drat.


It's also funny when people pitch these things like it should be some incredible burn, when they apparently don't realize that giving away halloween candy is an actual thing many people do. Because many kids who go out trick or treating get a shitload more candy than they reasonably need or even want to consume, so why not share it with kids who couldn't go trick or treating because they are sick, or homeless? Or troops, who can't trick or treat while deployed. How terrible!

What happened with Jade Helm anyway? I remember people talking like they were going to put Texas under martial law and murder everyone, but I don't think it was even acknowledged that it didn't happen.

During (or just before, I forget) the Jade Helm exercise - which took place over several months, despite conspiracy theorists making it sound like a sudden, violent coup - there was massive flooding in some areas of Texas, and suddenly a lot of people flipped over to thinking "hey, being surrounded by federal troops is actually a good thing!"

In addition, the politicians who threw Jade Helm-truthers table scraps saw the writing on the wall and shut up about it, their tune changing to "why yes, we will accept federal aid, thank you very much."

There were still holdouts, but they were in the "wal-marts are still being converted into FEMA camps and the government has ordered 3 million Muslim guillotines!" tier. Once politicians stopped exploiting it as a way to lash out at Obama, most people seemed to simply lose interest.

It's pretty bad how illegal immigrants get blamed for so much poo poo in the US that doesn't really correlate to them. They're not taking up any non-menial jobs since most jobs require residency verification beyond entry-level. Not only that, these people are trying to get away from a country with poor economical and crime circumstances in places.
